A cable or six from Moonbi to Mongolia

A PHONE call from an Irishman in Mongolia initially sounded like a scam to Moonbi company Andromeda Industries – but actually resulted in a $40,000 business transaction.

Andromeda manufactures and specialises in superflex steel cables and slings for the mining, construction, shipping and engineering industries.

More than a tonne of its recovery strops will make the journey to the Oyu Tolgoi mining project in Mongolia, via Xingang, some time this week – a first for the locally owned and operated business.
